Payment Plan Terms

Last Updated: 18 May 2020

By making a booking and choosing to pay a portion of the booking’s Total Fees at the time of booking and to pay the remainder of the Total Fees at a later time prior to check-in (“Payment Plan Feature” or “Feature” formerly called the “Pay Less Upfront Feature”), you agree to these Payment Plan Terms of Service (“Payment Plan Terms”), which amend Airbnb’s Terms of Service (“Airbnb Terms”) and Payments Terms of Service (“Payments Terms”) and are effective as of the date when you first book and use the Payment Plan feature.

All capitalised terms not defined have the meaning given to them in the Airbnb Terms and Payments Terms. If there is a conflict between the Airbnb Terms or Payments Terms and the Payment Plan Terms, the Payment Plan Terms control.

The Payment Plan Feature allows Guests to pay a portion of a booking’s Total Fees at the time of booking and to pay the remainder of the Total Fees at a later time prior to check-in. The Payment Plan Feature is available to Guests for eligible bookings when they pay with certain Payment Methods. If your booking is eligible for the Payment Plan Feature, the Airbnb Site, Application or Services (collectively, the “Airbnb Platform”) will notify you during checkout.

If you choose to book with the Payment Plan Feature, the Airbnb Platform will notify you of the amount and schedule of each payment due. On the second payment due date, Airbnb Payments will automatically charge the original Payment Method you used to make the booking. Gift Cards and credits cannot be used for the second payment. Therefore, to the extent a gift card or credit is used for the initial booking using a Payment Plan, Airbnb will only charge the gift card or credit up to the first scheduled amount due.

If you make a modification to a booking made with the Feature, you will be notified of the revised payment schedule, as applicable, via the Airbnb Platform. If the modification increases your Total Fees, you may be required to make an additional partial payment of the new Total Fees at the time of the modification.

You authorise Airbnb Payments to collect all amounts due from you pursuant to these Payment Plan Terms by charging the Payment Method used to make the booking or otherwise as permitted pursuant to the Payments Terms. You agree that by selecting the Payment Plan Feature, you may not be able to pay for the booking with a different Payment Method or pursuant to a different payment schedule.

If Airbnb Payments is unable to collect any payment pursuant to these Payment Plan Terms, you authorise Airbnb to cancel the booking on your behalf. If the booking is cancelled, you will be refunded based on the Host’s cancellation policy. You acknowledge that you may incur fees for cancellations pursuant to the Host’s cancellation policy.

You will not be charged any additional fees for using the Payment Plan Feature.
